9 August. International Day of the World's Indigenous People
The Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of indigenous peoples' cultures and the great diversity that they represent. It is also an occasion to redouble efforts to address issues of exclusion, discrimination and poverty that are still the daily reality for many of these peoples. This year, the High Commissioner for Human Rights calls upon the General Assembly to adopt the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a matter of urgency. She also invites States and the international community as a whole to give particular attention to targeting indigenous peoples in programmes to reduce poverty since these communities remain stubbornly amongst the poorest of the poor.

Recondita armonia - A reflection on the function of culture in building citizenship capacity. By Dick Stanley

EU/CULTURE: Culture plays an ever growing role in economic development itself
On the 27th of June the Committee of Regions organised in Brussels a round table on “Culture and tourism”. Cultural diversity and the development of cultural forms of expressions are, together with the preservation of the cultural heritage, indispensable elements of European identity. In this sense this event was aimed to underline that culture plays an ever growing role in economic development itself and to its foundations on which it rests. Culture in its diverse forms can no longer be subsumed and evaluated under the term 'cultural economy'.

PDF [français] La participation politique et ses défis : territoires, action collective et registres
Conférence internationale organisée par la Chaire UNESCO « Politiques urbaines et citoyenneté », l’UMR CNRS 5600 et l’Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics de l’Etat, Lyon
10-11 décembre 2007. Les débats relatifs à la démocratie sur un registre participatif prennent corps au sein de sociétés dans lesqulles le rapport entre la société civile et le politique se recomposent rapidement. Plus exactement, c’est un type d’organisation du politique historiquement daté qui est en cause. En effet, il a longtemps été inconcevable de penser le politique en dehors de l’État, de ses institutions et de son territoire contrôlé par le biais d’un ensemble de frontières et d’instruments ormatifs. Ce modèle politique est actuellement remis en question.

PDF [français] Programme du colloque "Aménagement urbain et transition post-keynésienne" - 22 Octobre 2007
Les impacts du post-fordisme sur les activités, les populations urbaines et les politiques d’aménagement ont fait l’objet de nombreux travaux, mais ceux du post-keynésianisme restent à explorer. Ce colloque se fixe comme objectif d’analyser à la fois la réalité et l’ampleur du post-keynésianisme, et particulièrement les conséquences de cette éventuelle remise en cause sur les pratiques, les moyens disponibles, les cultures et les objectifs affichés par les acteurs de l’aménagement urbain.
